Weapon's Shoot

[♠Col. Richard Winters]

OOC: In hopes to bring up activity I have opened a thread yet again, for fun mostly. It is a weapons shoot, in which all weapons in the shop are available to shoot here, except Vehicles, planes, etc. So have fun!

Winters had been Speaking with Gen. Montgomery about having some sort of fun for the soldiers while they were back from war for a while. They had agreed to a weapons shoot. Winters was enthralled at the Generals Decision. So he was going to keep this entirely a Secret, until the right time, to tell the soldiers of the fun upcoming event.

He decided he would announce it as if they were headed back out to war, as as a joke. Winters walked over to the Mess hall where the soldiers were eating the morning meal. His XO in Front. There was one huge noise as the chairs slid back, as every soldier stood to attention. Acting as serious as he could he stood on top of on of the tables, shouting "Sorry to break the fun, but Listen Up. Soldiers, I want every man with Weapons and Ammo, ready at the court yard by 0900, for the next missions briefing. Understood?" The Whole Room acknowledged with a loud thundering " Yes Sir!!"

Winters walked out of the room, trying his hardest not to laugh. Then as he reached the HQ him and his XO brook up laughing. Then at 0900 they headed back out to the courtyard, ready to tell the soldiers what fun was ahead of them.

OOC: Okay as of right now you guys don't know that we are having a weapons shoot. So in your next post act as if you don't know and you are meeting at the court yard, so start off talking about sitting in the Mess Hall and when I came in Etc. End it as you are walking into the court yard. Still not knowing what is going on.

[♠SSGT Zeke Sturm]

Zeke was eating some nice bacon and eggs in the mess hall, fresh from the ward, when Colonel Winters came in, and yelled to be ready at 0900 for a mission briefing. He moved his plate, and slammed his head into the table. He had been hoping for some peace that he could be conscious to witness. He noticed Winters looking around at the groaning faces before leaving. He was possibly the only one who hadn't said "Yes Sir," it had been a while since he'd had to pay attention to rules and regulations. He stood up, and ran to the wall, where all of his equipment sat ready. He slung his backpack and M1 over his shoulder, grabbing his new BAR. It was one borrowed from a polish army base, and had a convenient pistol grip. He put a clip into the BAR, and slotted a magazine into the M1. He directed his men up, and out to the Courtyard. They jabbered about what they were doing next, who they had waiting at home, and the like. Zeke sighed, and directed them to do whatever they wanted until 0900. At 0850, he began making his rounds, gathering the men, and waking some who had gone back to bed. One screamed in disgust as Zeke dumped his bedpan on him, and that got the others up in a flash. He trooped them out to the courtyard, and they began to wait for Winters' announcement.

[Cpt. John Walters]

" Ahh, the great smell of bacon and eggs in the morning ", said John. This had probably been the best breakfeast for him. He was at the head table, with the other officers of course. As he stuck the fork into his bacon, and placed it into his mouth John thought about the plan for today. " Man this is gonna be good, the soldiers don't even know whats gonna be coming for them! ".

As John finished up his food, Col. Winters had arrived, just in time. " Attention! ", shouted John as the Commanding officer came in reach to speak with the men. "Sorry to break the fun, but Listen Up. Soldiers, I want every man with Weapons and Ammo, ready at the court yard by 0900, for the next missions briefing. Understood?" As the colonel finished what he had to say, the men and John had shouted, " Yes Sir! ". The room lifted as the speech of all the men replied to Winters. After so John went and placed his plate in the cleaning rack.

His next job was to meet Col. Winters at the HQ. He slung his headdress on and started to talk to the HQ. It hadn't been to far, probably about 2 minutes to get there. John had arrived at the HQ. As he stepped in the door some of the men there had come to attention. " At ease men, continue your work ", said John as he had walked by them. As he continued forward he had confronted Col. Winters. Soon enough the both of them had burst out laughing, discussing about the situation. When 0900 came, Col. Winters and Capt. Walters head out of the HQ, and went straight to the courtyard.
